Jonghyun Funeral

Hints of there being other dimensions have been rumored for hundreds of years. But is it true? The government has been known to keep secrets. Too many in fact. Yet the world has continued to spin, up until the year 2050. Many reports have been made of people in hospitals disappearing. Graveyard visitors. Funeral homes, prisons, battlefields. The only connection these places have is they have intense emotional resonance. Coincidence? Ironbark, an evolved prison known for holding over a million prisoners.

As whispers rise from the stars and impossible enemies awaken, Flare must face his past, his power, and a future drenched in blood and fire. The dead are rising. The stars are watching. And Flare Nacht is running out of time.

The original owner was one tantrum away from being assassinated. And Lui Ming, who just wanted to take naps in peace, realizes something quickly: He has no plot armor. No golden finger. No system. Just his medical degree, a blank face, and tea cups that must be aligned. To survive, he needs to cling to a powerful golden thigh. But there’s just one tiny issue. He has no idea how to blend in.

Josh Anderson was once an ordinary boy who only wanted a peaceful life with his mother. But peace was a luxury he could never afford under the rule of his tyrannical father, Marcus Anderson. Growing up in a house filled with fear, violence, and endless screaming, Josh and his mother, Mary, lived as prisoners to a man who thrived on their suffering. Then one day, everything changed. After years of enduring Marcus’s abuse, Mary was finally pushed too far—beaten unconscious in front of her sister, Jane Rocky, and her own son. Rushed to the hospital, she never woke up. The news of her death shattered Josh’s world. His mother—his protector, his source of warmth—was gone. And the one responsible? The man who called himself his father. At his mother’s funeral, standing before a crowd of mourners, Josh made a choice that would change his life forever. He was no longer Josh Anderson. That name had died with his mother. From that moment on, he became Josh Rocky, a boy with no room left for love or sympathy. And as Marcus Anderson fled the country to escape justice, Josh vowed that one day, he would hunt him down and make him pay. Ten years later… The once-fragile boy has become a cold, ruthless man—the CEO of Rocky Jewelries Company, one of the most powerful jewelry empires in the country. Feared by employees and competitors alike, Josh Rocky is known as "Sir Grumpy"—a man who fires employees without hesitation, shows no mercy to rivals, and views kindness as a weakness. To him, emotions are nothing but obstacles. Love? It’s a lie. Sympathy? It’s a weakness. Family? It’s a myth. Will Josh remain the ruthless man he’s become, or will the ghosts of his past force him to confront the emotions he buried long ago?

"WHY DID SHE DIE BUT NOT YOU?" Three years ago, I was the daughter of a proud Alpha and once destined to lead the Bloodpine Pack. But everything changed the day I took my little sister to the woods for a moment of fun on the night of her birthday. Unfortunately, only one of us returned alive, my sister drowned in the river. Her grave marked the death of my life, banished by my father’s bitter words, and on the day of my sister’s funeral, I fled the Pack and lived as a rogue slave, believing that I deserved every scar as I kept telling myself that I killed my sister. Then fate twisted the knife deeper. On my eighteenth birthday, I was dragged before Alpha Lucian, the strongest, most feared Alpha of the East and discovered I was his fated mate. At first I rejected him but the mate bond became too strong for any of us to resist. “You were never my choice.” he said to me on the night we were bound as mates. Lucian never wanted me, he gave me the title of Luna and the cold shoulder. Still, I endured the mockery, hoping the mate bond would awaken his heart. Until the day he brought home the woman he loved who turned out to be no one else but Elira, my supposed dead sister. "You can leave now. I love her," he said. I fell to my knees. "Sister…" Betrayed, humiliated, yet clinging to the bond, I fought to prove my worth to Lucian, but fate wasn’t finished with me yet. I heard about my sister’s deadly plot to have me killed. I informed Lucian about this, maybe he can keep me safe but instead, I was disgraced by him, called a liar and Lucian cast me out of his pack with the secret of his child in my womb. I walked away with pain and anger in my heart. Years passed by, Lucian’s pack was in ruins and the Alpha lies wounded at my feet. My heart is cold and my son is my only light. But the mate bond doesn’t break so easily, and neither do I. Will love rise from betrayal, or will I claim my revenge?

MYTHS, LEGENDS, CHRONICLES AND TALES OF WAR: They whisper from the scorched earth and the drowned depths, etched on crumbling steel and sung in the funeral of forgotten peoples. Some true, some false, spun from fear and the fading memory of glory. But one truth bleeds through them all, a crimson thread in the tapestry of ruin: BLOODSHED, PAIN, SUFFERING. The rot began not in mortal hearts, but in the heavens themselves. GREED, a serpent coiling around divine thrones. JEALOUSY, a poison in ambrosial cups. SPITE, a dagger plunged by brother into brother. UNCHECKED EGOS that scraped the vault of stars. UNTAMED RAGE that cracked the foundations of the world. I saw it unfold, this symphony of annihilation. While the OLYMPIANS, thunderbolts like wrathful serpents, clashed against the NORSE GODS whose axes sang the doom-song of Yggdrasil, the very Tree groaning under their fury... Below, the ATLANTEANS, masters of crystal and crushing tide, and the celestial SHENS, weavers of elemental harmony, tore at each other’s throats in a BLOODLUST for dominion over realms mortals could scarce comprehend. And then, the venomous strike: the ORISHAS, their brilliance dimmed by envy for the opulent DEVAS and graceful DEVIS, whispering secrets to the shadows. They forged an unholy compact with the cunning, myriad-faced YOKAIS, turning their combined might not outward, but inward, to rend the very empire they coveted. A betrayal that drowned golden spires in the divine river of ichor. All the carnage. All the destruction. Wrought before my very eyes. The horror was not merely in the scale, but in the instrument. The HEKA. My creations. Forged not in malice, but for advancement; tools to sculpt mountains, to calm storms, to heal wounds that rent the sky. Tempered for justice; blades meant to sever chains of oppression, shields to guard the innocent and lowly. Conceived in peace, instruments to bridge gaps between realms, to weave understanding where only suspicion grew. Yet, grasped by hands steeped in greed, they became engines of torment. The HEKA that could mend bones sundered souls.Weapons that could summon light ignited funeral pyres for continents. That could command the seas drowned civilizations. Each glorious purpose twisted, inverted, used to INFLICT PAIN and CAUSE GRIEF on a scale that scarred the cosmos. I, HOGREGORON, the Maker, watched. Helpless, filled with regrets. My forge-fire cooled to chambers of shame. When the dust settled, eons later, it was not dust, but the ASHES OF GODS. The thunder fell silent. The axes lay shattered. The crystal cities were glass tombs on ocean floors. The celestial harmonies were discordant echoes. The vibrant courts of Devas and Orishas were silent sepulchers. No triumphant paeans echoed. No victors raised banners on the scorched and sundered earth. Only silence, thick and suffocating, broken by the mournful wind whistling through the skeletal remains of Yggdrasil, through the broken columns of Olympus, through the drowned halls of Atlantis. NO WINNERS. NONE VICTORIOUS. I stood alone. HOGREGORON. The Last. The Remnant. Upon a plain that stretched into desolation, where once vibrant realms had pulsed with divine energy, now only CHAOS reigned; a landscape twisted by final, cataclysmic magics, raw and weeping. No survivors.

In June 2025, a devastating plane crash near Hyderabad kills over 500 people. Among the suspected victims is Andhra Pradesh’s Home Minister, Rathnadevi, a formidable woman known for her fierce stance against corruption. But when her body isn't found, questions begin to swirl. In New York, Anushree, an intelligence officer and Rathnadevi's estranged sister, sees the news and returns to India. Media frenzy explodes. But Anushree, sharp and composed, redirects the attention: “Many died. Not just her. Don’t forget them.” As she investigates, Anushree meets Naveen, a quiet aspiring detective from Chennai who insists on helping. A villager’s report changes everything: someone saw Rathnadevi in a forest hours after the crash. The duo follows the trail. They find Rathnadevi alive—hiding in a forest ashram. She admits she skipped the flight to mourn her dead lover, killed years ago by their father’s political ambition. The pass she gave her aide led to the crash—and she’s been silent ever since. Anushree reveals something darker: the crash was orchestrated. Rathnadevi was being targeted. Files exposing aviation corruption were meant to be leaked—files on that very plane. Rathnadevi surrenders. Arrests follow. Truths unravel. At a mass funeral for the unidentified victims, Anushree thanks Naveen for his help. As they sit by the river, she finally asks: “Why did you really come to help?” Naveen hesitates. Then, quietly: “Because my family was on that flight. I just… never told anyone.” She stares at him in silence. Words fail. But sometimes, silence says everything.

In the fractured realm of **Everburn Labyrinth**, where ash falls like snow and forgotten gods whisper through cursed bloodlines, **Seryn Octavius**—the last heir of the soul-devouring **Emberdirge Dynasty**—barters memories for power.

But when his exiled mentor, **Lady Eluinora**, is exposed as a traitor who sold his clan to the God of Oblivion, Seryn’s quest for vengeance unravels a millennia-old conspiracy: the very curses that cripple the ancient dynasties are shards of a slain primordial deity, and *he* is the crucible to resurrect it. To survive, Seryn must master the forbidden **Ashborne Alchemy**, turning his family’s funeral rites into weapons—distilling grief into corrosive mists, forging vows into chainblades, and weaponizing his own decaying soul. Allies become liabilities: a mechanized orc warrior whose heart ticks toward self-destruction, a moon-cursed assassin hunting her reflection, and Eluinora herself, whose lies may hold the only key to salvation. As the **Clockwork Throne** awakronsume cities into slag and the **Thousand-Eyed Abyss** hungers for his lineage, Seryn faces an impossible choice: embrace the erosion of his humanity to become the realm’s destroyer, or shatter the alchemical laws of the universe—and with them, every soul he vowed to protect

"Cursed by vengeance, bound by fate" ************* "In shadows' embrace, grudges entwine, A tale of vengeance, an oath malign. Two souls adrift, in darkness they're bound, Seeking redemption, a fate unbound. Whispers of old wounds, revenge takes its hold, In the labyrinth of grudges, stories unfold. A dance of darkness, a symphony of pain, In the web of hatred, hearts break and strain. Forgiveness withheld, destinies entwined, In the shadows of vengeance, souls confined. Through echoes of spite, their paths converge, In 'The Entangled Grudge,' a tale they urge." *************** Jade Collins thought she was coming home to peace — instead, she walked into her father's funeral and a legacy soaked in blood.

Because the dead don’t always rest. And love doesn’t always come from the living. **Sneak Peek** Jade says, eyes narrowing, voice dripping with defiance “You think you can control me, Tristen? You’re nothing to me.” Tristen with a dark smile curling on his lips, his voice a low whisper in her ear “Perhaps. But your past... and your heart—both belong to me now, Jade. Whether you like it or not.” Jade steps back, her eyes flashing with fury “You don’t get to decide that for me. I’ll break free of your chains, even if it means burning this whole world down.” Tristen speaks, his eyes gleaming with a mixture of admiration and menace “Then burn it. I’ll watch, and when it’s all gone, I’ll still be here—waiting.” ************* Can vengeance ever sleep when hearts refuse to forget? Will their hearts heal a history of bloodshed—or will they be doomed to repeat it?
